They ended up shaking hands and my dad dealt with it like a man and didn't get himself killed. I don't know if this is an argument against guns since diplomacy works in a lot of different cases, but suffice to say my dad's still pretty shaken by it and is looking into getting a nice gun at the shop he works at.

Doesn’t every pawn shop in Texas actually sell guns?

gun owners are pussies

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I sort of feel like that about pit bull owners.

I don’t care if I can beat you in a fair fight if all I have to do is shoot you. That hollow tip hits you it’s coming out 4 inches wide on your other side

A pussy is just a big hole, right?

This is the coolest thing I ever heard. Tell your dad he's a real hero. That could have gone really south so badly and so easily. Top man.

JTF, thats an awesome story. Your dad is a badass. I imagine my dad would do the same. Though my dad could just beat their face in instead. But yes, I agree. Also this doesn't mean I'm including myself in the gun debate as I don't really think it's up to me to decide if you should own one or not. Just be smart.

Not sure. I don't spend much time in pawn shops.

Thanks bro's. If he had got popped, I'd probably be at his funeral today. Crazy fucking shit. He told me last night. He asked the guy "what're you doing man?" and in the end the guy apologized and off into the night he went. I love my daddy.

^that's like the best case scenario. Really cool, man. Big props to your dad for being that kind of guy.

Idk what I'd do if I lost my dad. He's taught me everything. Itd be a void I could never fill.

Hey listen man my dad when I was a teenager was a mega shithead and an alcoholic and my parents split and he moved away and I've only seen sporadically since that time. But my pops is a good dude. Troubled past, but a good man and I've forgiven him. I also don't understand kids that end up cutting themselves or going through some huge depression cause their parents split. When I was a kid, I was happy my parents weren't together anymore because they couldn't argue at the top of their lungs their whole lives.

I feel it. My older brother is a **** up but I can't forgive him. He's been a drug addict for almost half my life. But I get it. My parents have split many times. They're as dysfunational as they get. But, they're still cool people if you put the parenting aspect aside. But yeah, my older brother will probably never hear from me again.

Wish I had had a dad like yours, JTF. Mine is finally dead, and not missed. I doubt anyone went to his funeral, the ****. Well, maybe to make sure he was dead but that would be about it. It's really horrible to have to say that about your father, but I had no male role model, other than doing everything the opposite to him. My mother was my role model, and you couldn't get better. Sadly, she died over a quarter of a century before him.
